SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: On July 28, 1994, the Department of Commerce

(``the Department'') issued its affirmative preliminary determination

of sales at less than fair value (59 FR 39727, August 4, 1994).

On August 11, 1994, respondents Jiangsu Native Produce Import/

Export Corp., Changzhou No. 2 Chemical Plant, Tianjin Chemical Import/

Export Corp., Gaoyo City Perfumery Factory, Tianjin Native Produce

Import/Export Corp., and Tianjin No. 1 Perfumery Factory requested an

extension of the final determination. Pursuant to 19 CFR 353.20(b), if

respondents who account for a significant proportion of exports of the

subject merchandise request such an extension subsequent to an

affirmative preliminary determination, we are required, absent

compelling reasons to the contrary, to grant the request.

Given that the requirement of 19 CFR 353.20(b) has been met, and

that there are no compelling reasons to deny the request, we are

postponing the final determination for this investigation until the

135th day after the publication date of the preliminary determination.

The deadline for issuing this determination is now no later than

December 19, 1994.

This notice is published pursuant to section 733(a)(2) of the Act

and 19 CFR 353.20(b).

Dated: August 31, 1994.

Acting Assistant Secretary for Import Administration.
